Milesmommy and Amanda, thanks for sharing your stories and worries.We finally had the appointment with the pediatric genticist.She confirmed that our daughter does not fit any known genetic syndrome. That's a relief!However, she didn't say that she has nothing, but that it could be something extremely rare and/or subtle.Well, I don't know what to make about that. I guess they can never give anyone the "all-clear". They will run some further tests (the micro-array Jamie mentioned) and the results will take months...All other tests have come back normal and healthy. I guess that's good, although the best-case scenario would be something that can be easily fixed

We tried pediasure - she liked it for three days and then cooled off. She will have a few sips and is then done.I am experimenting right now with home-made smoothies with extra-cream and ice-cream right now. At least I like them a lot better and it's me who finishes them.... (And I do not need extra-high calorie diet by the way...)The cystic fibrosis has some receipies for high-calorie meals. They also test for cystic fibrosis, which came back negative. Given that she only had one chest infection when everybody else in the family was sick as well, I had anticipated this result, but it's still a plus.

My son fell from the 50% to the 12% and is now at 3 years 50% percentile again. But 12% is still a lot better than 0.01% percentile or something like that. She is 17lb at 15.5 months and I have never seen a chart that show the lower percentiles.

I forgot to mention... I add one scoop of toddler formula to a cup (6-9 oz) whole milk. One scoop is supposed to be mixed with 2 oz of water; I add it to milk because I think toddler formula is a rip-off; whole milk is fine for toddlers. But since I'm trying to maximize calories and nutrients, adding a little bit of it to whole milk just gives Josh a little extra nutrition and calories.

BTW, Josh is about a month older than your daughter. He weighs 21 pounds. His head circumference is ~ 60%, so that's half his weight. lol Most 9-12 month olds are bigger than he is, except his head. lol
